I bought it from Vintage and love it. Great rose scent, long bloom season for a once bloomer, April--June one year.

{{gwi:1221396}} first the bush, big, vigorous, suckering,thorny, went naked this winter,back laden with buds, leaves etc.

the bloom, almost 3 inches, many are much smaller this year, but not usually 3-3 1/2 is common

this shot is from last year or before. I thought it was Gloire des Mousseux as it was sold to me but Gregg Lowery after apologizing about the mix-up said he thought it was some gallica. Any guesses?
